Jenny Holzer

The American conceptual artist Jenny Holzer covered the 15th BMW Art Car, a BMW V12 LMR, in 1999 with messages that she says "will probably never lose their relevance".

24 Hours of Le Mans

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the world's oldest active sports car race in endurance racing, held annually since 1923 near the town of Le Mans, France. It is one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world and is often called the "Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency".

The BMW V12 LMR took 1st place at Le Mans in 1999, immediately after completion of the Holzer livery.
